John Cappelletti gave best speech
via images-cdn01.associatedcontent.com
1. "Lastly, there is my brother, Joseph, who is ill. He has leukemia. They say I've shown courage on the football field, but for me it's only on the field and only in the fall. Joey lives with pain all the time. His courage is 'round the clock. I want him to have this trophy. It's more his than mine because he has been such an inspiration to me." – Penn State's John Cappelletti honors his dying younger brother in his 1973 Heisman Trophy acceptance speech."

something for joey
It’s pretty corny, the acting isn’t great, and the guy who plays JoePa doesn’t even try to emulate Joe in any way. But, it’s awesome.
Everytime I read/listen to that speech
I start to get goosebumps and tear up.
Yeah
Its just another example of why PSU belongs at the top of any list of “best” college football programs
